For Psoriasis "I've been using Elocon for over 15 years. I use the liquid lotion on my scalp. If I apply twice a day for a week, my entire scalp is cleared and itch-free. Elocon, however, is not very effective for the psoriasis in my belly button and in my ears. It only works to clear it for 3 days and comes right back. But for the scalp, it's a 10! I also apply it to new spots over my skin if I see them, it nicks any new spots from forming. Elocon states it may thin the skin, but after 10 years, I'm still doing good, no thinning."

For Eczema "Literally the only thing that has worked to help my eczema! I was told by the doctor to apply out of the shower, then put lotion (I use Eucerin smoothing, it's not too sticky and leaves your skin soft) since the Elocon can dry out skin. Works like a charm, the only downside is if you use it for too long, it can cause thin skin and stretch marks, so be careful."

For Eczema "This ointment is very effective. It has cleared up all of my breakouts from eczema. However, it concerns me that someone in an earlier post mentioned that they apply this medication to their face. Please do not do this as Elocon is a steroid that can thin the skin. It's so strong, you only need to apply it to the affected area. It's not meant to be used like a face cream. The skin on your face is already so much thinner and more sensitive than the skin on your arms and legs."
